The full quote is even more ridiculous:

We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state — we are a moral state. We want to lower taxes and let people be able to live and work and go to the faith they choose.

-Tom Woods (R) Adair

I fucking hate my state. And country. I just want to leave.

I swear growing up there were all these positive things about our country. But as I continue growing up those positive things started being unmasked and all the ugliness started to become apparent. And trump has brought all that ugliness out of the underbelly into the daylight. It's depressing.

He emboldened the shittiest among us. The kind that think kindness is weakness, empathy is for the stupid, and cruelty is funny.

It's like chat gpt wrote it.

This stuff, right here, is why I have distanced myself so hard from the Christian church. They feel like a hate group now, and it's depressing. None of these people behave the way I was taught to.

I hate my state. I pretty much just live here because it's actually affordable.

Ah yes... I see. A taxonomic game. This asshat believes Non-binary people aren't "people" so there's no hypocrisy there as far as he can see.

I hope everyone who applauded him in that room gets some rightly deserved karmatic retribution.
